Is this looking right? I've done shock and spring combo's on my previous cars and they settled fairly quick. These were so flippin stiff that my spring compressors pulled threads and started to crack! The picture is the next morning after install and have settled maybe half an inch.

I set the clip at the lowest setting. Checked and double checked the paper that came with them to make sure we didn't have it backwards. The ride so far is absolutely amazing compared to the stockers.

If it is on the lowest setting, meaning zero lift, you have something wrong. If it's the stock springs, I am willing to bet the spring perch is up side down.
Is the little retainer clip showing when all installed? It should not be showing when complete.
Take a picture and post it.

The spring perches are upside down. See the 1st picture, you can see the small retainer clip showing. A hard bump and that thing is going to come undone. The retainer clip should be covered by the spring perch.

Well... That's kinda embarrassing lol. Thanks for the quick responses!! Have to buy new spring compressors. I destroyed the ones I had.

I suggest bringing it somewhere. I think I paid $40 for 2 5100's. All I did was bring the strut/spring assy to a tire and suspension shop, ask them to swap the OEM's out for the 5100's. Youll pay more than $40 for a new pair of good compressors, and you can avoid possible injury to yourself.

And I dont recommend the non spring compressor method. Especially with your shocks already in a bind.

Dude we ended up using the weight of another truck and the front tow hook to push down around the top spring plate just to make sure the compressors didn't break on us! Slight bit of hill billy mechanics...and never doing it again!
